G
Yesterday the sun was shining
but you are finding the sun it
       F#m           B  F#m B
Don't shine all the time
Em          C            Em6      C
A winter day came suddenly your way
            Bm        F#m  B F#m
And you ran into your mind

Chorus:
  C      G          C           G  C
Sleeping Annaleah, Weeping Annaleah
                    Bm
Do you think you're ready for me?

Oh and yesterday is gone
forever and ever, never
To be again
You looked for the sunshine,
that brought warmth to your mind
But find only rain

Chorus:
Sleeping Annaleah
Weeping Annaleah
No, you're not ready for me
But when yesterday becomes a memory, a memory
That we uncovered in time
If you still remember that cold September
I reigned in your mind
Sleeping Annaleah
Weeping Annaleah
Then you'd be ready for me

D        A7              D      A7
Sleeping Annaleah, whoa Weeping Annaleah whoa
